Object: Checkmate the opponent's King by attacking it so it cannot escape.

In this Chess variant, 'The King is a Fink'*

Played as Normal Chess excepting that the King (renamed 'Coward') captures as usual, but otherwise moves a square only by switching places with an adjoining friend piece.  Normal distant Rook Castling rules still apply.

Includes 11 chess subvariants, from Zillions' Chess.zrf, plus its main variant.
